I've worked at 4 software companies in Australia so far and none have been concerned about which programming languages I know (admittedly not for super high wages, but still...)

I found out I had two (!) dangerous recessives (the sort that if you have these from both sides, your body/life is pretty messed up), neither of which I knew about from family history. Luckily, my wife has neither, but I appreciate kno

They could just ship AOSP as the default (years of polish...) as their first step.

by wryun 8y ago
Yes, I think they're crazy for not just focusing on the hardware and shipping AOSP. I think the point of having a completely open source/up-streamed kernel is that it's straightforward to run any mobile OS... that they'r

I'm a fan of JSON-e over jsonnet (less complexity/safe with untrusted data, native libraries for Python/JS/Go instead of C++, + valid JSON/YAML on its own): https://taskcluster.github.io/json-e/

But by that definition, what linux isn't 'based on mainline linux'? Unless they're offering some guarantee that they'll keep their patches up-to-date...

jq has a more polished CLI and can do 'everything'. jmespath is more limited, but is well specified and easier to fit in your head. It's also much more appropriate for using as a library from other projects, since it has clea

My (possibly faulty) memory of win32s is that it was came out before Windows 95, and that it would not run most of the programs that were later released for Windows 95. I'd call it a 'Win32 API for Windows 3.1' rather than a

I'm a slightly longer term ex-Freelancer employee whose tenure overlapped with Jon's, and I feel like I should say that my experience wasn't that bad. As I suspect afflicts many companies, when I joined it was struggling with

[OP] Depends what you want. I amuse myself optimising cost/resource usage; I know it's playing at the margins. I think 'sharecropping' is a bit harsh... in this particular case, my Android phone is actually running AOSP,

We're heavily using multiple databases on a single Postgres RDS. Yes, occasionally it's annoying not having a true superuser, but now they've improved it so you can still have 'fake superuser' reserved connections i
